Question: The dynamic behavior of a pilot scale absorption process has been approximated by the transfer function model Y ' ( s ) = - 0

The dynamic behavior of a pilot scale absorption process has been approximated by the transfer function model
Y'(s)=-0.025(1.5s+1)U'(s)
Where Y' is the deviation of SO2 concentration from its nominal operating value of 100 ppm, measured at the absorber's outlet; and U' is the absorber water flowrate in deviation from its nominal value of 250gpm; time is in minutes. It is desired to design a PI controller for this process (assuming for now that the dynamics of the sensor as well as those of the valve are negligible) by assigning the closed-loop system poles to the same location as the roots of the quadratic equation:
s2+s+1=0
Find the values of Kc and 1I required to achieve this pole assignment. [Pay attention to the sign of Kc must have, for the controller's action to be reasonable.]
